Use the

ExtensionManager

managed object in your

vCenter Server

instance to register a new extension. Extensions can add new objects to the vCenter inventory. Extensions define tasks, events, and faults that relate to actions that the solution performs on the objects, the events that occur in the extension, and the problems that the objects encounter. You can also use

ExtensionManager

to add user interface elements to the

vSphere Client

to allow users to interact with the objects that your extension provides to

vCenter Server

.

ExtensionManager

adds data objects to the vSphere Extension APIs that integrate extensions as vCenter solutions that you can manage.
